/uni-release — Create a Unimatrix Release

Inputs

From the invoker:

• Bump level: major, minor, or patch — OR an explicit semver string (e.g. 0.7.0).

If no bump level is provided, ask the user before proceeding.

Pre-flight Checks

1. Ensure the worktree is clean (no uncommitted changes):

   git status --porcelain
   

   If output is non-empty, stop with: "Clean worktree required for release. Commit or stash changes first."

2. Ensure you are on a branch that can be pushed (typically main or a release branch).

Step 1: Read Current Version

Read [workspace.package] version from the root Cargo.toml:

grep -m1 'version' Cargo.toml | head -1

Look inside the [workspace.package] section for the version = "X.Y.Z" line. Parse the current version string.

Step 2: Compute New Version

• If bump level (major / minor / patch):

  • Parse current version as MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
  • patch -> MAJOR.MINOR.(PATCH+1)
  • minor -> MAJOR.(MINOR+1).0
  • major -> (MAJOR+1).0.0

• If explicit version string:

  • Validate it matches X.Y.Z where X, Y, Z are non-negative integers.
  • Validate it is strictly greater than the current version.
  • If invalid, stop with a diagnostic error.

Check that the git tag v{new_version} does not already exist:

git tag -l "v{new_version}"

If it exists, stop with: "Tag v{new_version} already exists."

Step 3: Update Root Cargo.toml

Edit the [workspace.package] section in the root Cargo.toml:

• Change version = "{old_version}" to version = "{new_version}".

All 9 workspace crates use version.workspace = true and inherit automatically.

Step 4: Update npm package.json Files

Update these files with the new version:

1. packages/unimatrix/package.json:

   • Set "version" to "{new_version}".
   • Set "optionalDependencies"."@dug-21/unimatrix-linux-x64" to "{new_version}".
   • Set "optionalDependencies"."@dug-21/unimatrix-linux-arm64" to "{new_version}".

2. packages/unimatrix-linux-x64/package.json:

   • Set "version" to "{new_version}".

3. packages/unimatrix-linux-arm64/package.json:

   • Set "version" to "{new_version}".

Step 5: Generate CHANGELOG.md

1. Find the previous release tag:

   git describe --tags --abbrev=0 --match "v*" 2>/dev/null
   

   If no prior tag exists, use the first commit as the range start.

2. Collect conventional commits in the range {previous_tag}..HEAD:

   git log {previous_tag}..HEAD --format="%H %s"
   

3. Classify each commit:

   • Starts with feat: or feat( -> Features (strip prefix for display).
   • Starts with fix: or fix( -> Fixes (strip prefix for display).
   • Contains BREAKING CHANGE in the body OR has !: in the subject -> Breaking Changes.
   • All other prefixes (docs:, test:, chore:, etc.) -> skip.

4. Build the new changelog section:

   ## [{new_version}] - {YYYY-MM-DD}
   
   ### Breaking Changes
   - {message}
   
   ### Features
   - {message}
   
   ### Fixes
   - {message}
   

   Omit any section that has zero entries. Use today's date.

5. If CHANGELOG.md does not exist, create it with this header:

   # Changelog
   
   All notable changes to Unimatrix are documented here.
   Format based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/).
   

6. Prepend the new section after the header (before any existing release sections).

Step 6: Verify Build

Run a build check to confirm the version change does not break compilation:

cargo check --workspace

If this fails, stop with: "Build check failed after version update. Review changes before releasing."

Step 7a: Sync protocols/ Distribution Copies

Copy the four protocol files from the internal .claude/protocols/uni/ directory to two locations: the repo-root protocols/ (for repo users) and packages/unimatrix/protocols/ (for npm — npm resolves files relative to the package directory, not the repo root):

# Repo-root copy (for users who clone the repo)
cp .claude/protocols/uni/uni-design-protocol.md protocols/uni-design-protocol.md
cp .claude/protocols/uni/uni-delivery-protocol.md protocols/uni-delivery-protocol.md
cp .claude/protocols/uni/uni-bugfix-protocol.md protocols/uni-bugfix-protocol.md
cp .claude/protocols/uni/uni-agent-routing.md protocols/uni-agent-routing.md
cp protocols/README.md protocols/README.md  # already exists; update if changed

# npm package copy (what npm pack actually includes)
cp .claude/protocols/uni/uni-design-protocol.md packages/unimatrix/protocols/uni-design-protocol.md
cp .claude/protocols/uni/uni-delivery-protocol.md packages/unimatrix/protocols/uni-delivery-protocol.md
cp .claude/protocols/uni/uni-bugfix-protocol.md packages/unimatrix/protocols/uni-bugfix-protocol.md
cp .claude/protocols/uni/uni-agent-routing.md packages/unimatrix/protocols/uni-agent-routing.md
cp protocols/README.md packages/unimatrix/protocols/README.md

Verify each copy is identical to its source (run for both destinations):

diff .claude/protocols/uni/uni-design-protocol.md protocols/uni-design-protocol.md
diff .claude/protocols/uni/uni-delivery-protocol.md protocols/uni-delivery-protocol.md
diff .claude/protocols/uni/uni-bugfix-protocol.md protocols/uni-bugfix-protocol.md
diff .claude/protocols/uni/uni-agent-routing.md protocols/uni-agent-routing.md
diff protocols/uni-design-protocol.md packages/unimatrix/protocols/uni-design-protocol.md
diff protocols/uni-delivery-protocol.md packages/unimatrix/protocols/uni-delivery-protocol.md
diff protocols/uni-bugfix-protocol.md packages/unimatrix/protocols/uni-bugfix-protocol.md
diff protocols/uni-agent-routing.md packages/unimatrix/protocols/uni-agent-routing.md
diff protocols/README.md packages/unimatrix/protocols/README.md

All diffs must produce zero output. The .claude/protocols/uni/ directory is the source of truth — apply any needed corrections there first, then re-copy both.

Step 7b: Sync uni-retro Distribution Copies

Copy the uni-retro skill to two locations: the repo-root skills/uni-retro/ (for repo users) and packages/unimatrix/skills/uni-retro/ (for npm):

cp .claude/skills/uni-retro/SKILL.md skills/uni-retro/SKILL.md
cp .claude/skills/uni-retro/SKILL.md packages/unimatrix/skills/uni-retro/SKILL.md

Verify both copies are identical to their source:

diff .claude/skills/uni-retro/SKILL.md skills/uni-retro/SKILL.md
diff .claude/skills/uni-retro/SKILL.md packages/unimatrix/skills/uni-retro/SKILL.md

Both diffs must produce zero output.

Step 7: Create Release Commit

Stage only the release-related files:

git add Cargo.toml packages/unimatrix/package.json packages/unimatrix-linux-x64/package.json packages/unimatrix-linux-arm64/package.json CHANGELOG.md protocols/ skills/uni-retro/ packages/unimatrix/protocols/ packages/unimatrix/skills/uni-retro/

Commit with the release message:

git commit -m "release: v{new_version}"

Step 8: Create Git Tag

git tag "v{new_version}"

Step 9: Push Commit and Tag

git push origin HEAD
git push origin "v{new_version}"

The tag push triggers the release pipeline defined in .github/workflows/uni-release.yml.

Step 10: Print Summary

Release v{new_version} complete.

Version: {old_version} -> {new_version}

Files modified:
  - Cargo.toml (workspace version)
  - packages/unimatrix/package.json
  - packages/unimatrix-linux-x64/package.json
  - packages/unimatrix-linux-arm64/package.json
  - CHANGELOG.md
  - protocols/ (synced from .claude/protocols/uni/ — repo-root copy)
  - packages/unimatrix/protocols/ (npm-distributed copy)
  - skills/uni-retro/SKILL.md (synced from .claude/skills/uni-retro/ — repo-root copy)
  - packages/unimatrix/skills/uni-retro/SKILL.md (npm-distributed copy)

Git:
  - Commit: release: v{new_version}
  - Tag: v{new_version}
  - Pushed to origin
